Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Lives of the Lord Chancellors and Keepers of the Great Seal of England, Vol. 8 of 10: From the Earliest Times Till the Reign of King George IV Although it was said that "Lord Clive was full of indignation at the desertion of Wedderbum," Mr. Solicitor vacating his seat, was re-elected for Bishops Castle without opposition; but he had before him the disagreeable prospect of walking up to the table between two Treasury members (his Liberal associates now shunning him), and of slinking down on the Treasury bench between Lord North and John Robinson. He dreaded that opposing parties, suspending their general hostility, would, on this occasion, interchange well-understood looks, occasioned by mutual wonderment at his apostasy. When the time came, he is said virtuously to have blushed, and to have appeared much distressed, till his colleague Thurlow shook him by the hand, and with an oath welcomed him to that side of the House which he ought never to have quitted. He for some time wore an embarrassed air, and when he had anything to say he seemed to have lost all his fluency.
